“We’re not sure what happened, but it looks like he was walking on the tracks approaching the train crossing and didn’t make the intersection,” said Rick Stubbert, deputy chief of the Oakland Police Department. “He was LifeFlighted to Lewiston.”
The incident happened on a straight stretch of tracks near the intersection of Oak and Main streets, Stubbert said. He said the freight train was headed west.

Central Maine Medical Center spokeswoman Kate Carlisle confirmed that the man was LifeFlighted to that hospital and is currently in intensive care.
